India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Friday (Apr 5) issued a heatwave alert as temperatures are likely to rise in parts of east and peninsular India over the next two days.&nbsp;

In its&nbsp;latest release, the government agency said that Odisha, Gangetic West Bengal, Jharkhand, Vidarbha, North Interior Karnataka, Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Rayalaseema and Telangana would likely face the heat wave.&nbsp;

In official terms, the heatwave has been described as extreme heat and a period of abnormally hot weather. It is often accompanied by high humidity. The air temperature becomes fatal to the human body when exposed for a long time.&nbsp;

The update also weighed in on the impact and action suggested due to the heat wave conditions.

However, the focus should be on moderate health concerns for vulnerable people e.g. infants, the elderly, and people with chronic diseases.&nbsp;
